Los estudios florísticos de diatomeas bentónicas en los litorales mexicanos son escasos. Para la costa de Nayarit, dentro de la región noroeste, no existían estudios florísticos formales; sin embargo, durante la identificación de diatomeas encontradas en el contenido intestinal de Crassostrea corteziensis en un humedal de Nayarit, fueron observados y descritos 9 taxones de diatomeas bentónicas que constituyen nuevos registros para México.

Research on benthic diatom floristics from Mexican littorals is scarce. For the coasts of Nayarit, within the NW region, no formal floristic studies were hitherto available. However, during identification of diatoms found in the gut contents of Crassostrea corteziensis from Nayarit wetlands, 9 benthic diatom taxa that constitute new species records for the Mexican littorals were observed and they are here described and depicted.
